I was worried about Lily for a while. Usually she comes out to greet me, but not tonight. I thought maybe she might’ve bolted as I was tending to Toby or night critters, so I even checked outside, but then, no, she has never made any attempt to bolt at any time. Soon enough, she came out from wherever she was hiding.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Sunnastag/An: Sun’s Day, Paltar/An: Balder, you’re the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija. Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life. Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

The first one promises to help generously

In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth
From death to new creation.

Rune Lesson: Hagalaz is dangerous, but it is a precursor to change. As the ice shell melts it also brings generous help. As we see the danger approaching, we can take cover, we protect ourselves until we can take advantage of our ability to embrace our new creation; the new us.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG)/Day of Fertility/Saturn’s Day. Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments. We see you as god of the Thing. We call out to you in our time of legal need. We know that justice is a double-edged ax. On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion. On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.

Rune Lesson: We KNOW we have our connection to the gods via Heimo. We KNOW that connections brings shielding as long as we use the stories of our gods as our example. We don’t expect our gods to be there to save us from our situation, but we take their example and pull ourselves out with our own kenning. Our connection to the gods via Heimo is our blessing enough. Thru this are we encouraged.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Wodanstag/An: Odin’s Day. Heimo/An: Heimdall, HEAR ME! Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods. You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

Rune Lesson: Othilla = home. Ka = tribe or race. In the book, Germanic Heathenry a Practical Guide, we can easily see how the family/race/tribe are of ultimate importance:
It is worth repeating that our house/home is a holy enclosure, the container of not only the folk and wights (husinga and taterman) who dwell within, but the collective actions of the household itself - which, again, is a dynamic, living manifestation on its own accord. Our house is full of the luck and energies generated by the deeds of all who inhabit it (13).

God/dess Meditation: Friday/Frija’s Day/An: Frigga’s Day:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan. Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all! HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
